EYE ON ORLANDO. Richard Bove, the new research director at Raymond, James & Associates Inc., a brokerage based in St. Petersburg, has started studying several Florida cities to identify investment opportunities. Publicly owned companies benefiting from growth in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Tallahassee will be the stocks to own, he says. ''Orlando is going to go into a mini-boom,'' he says, citing the recently opened Boardwalk and Baseball amusement park and the proposed movie studios as catalysts for growth. The decline in the dollar's value also will boost tourism in Orlando, he says.
